NRCS Accepting Kansas Applications For EQIP

Applications are being accepted from Kansas producers for the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). While the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) accepts EQIP applications year-round, Kansas producers should apply by January 15, 2026, to be considered for funding in the current cycle. Applications received after that date automatically will be considered during the next funding cycle. 

EQIP offers financial and technical assistance to help producers make improvements in their operations, including enhancing water and air quality, conserving ground and surface water, reducing soil erosion and sedimentation, or enhancing wildlife habitat. If a producer’s application is funded, NRCS will offer an EQIP contract for financial assistance to help address the cost of implementing conservation practices.
